I think that rather than try to find you lot on the island on Sunday we're going to take it easy and bimble down to East Head in Chichester harbour for a picnic. It's another lovely beach if anyone wants to make it a "2 beach picnic" weekend

If you do come on over I'll be happy to provide a water taxi service in the SIB.

After realising quite how hot it'll be with the boat on the trailer at Calshot (grey tubes, suntrap and so on), myself and Neil are aiming to be off Calshot around 11ish as there's nowhere really to tie up. It may be easier to run over to Warsash and meet up there at 12ish

We left Christchurch in gloomy fog and mist with a few hundred yards viz. As we followed the coast to the east it improved until we stopped in Portsmouth in sunshine. ( Saw Tim M in the harbour but too far away to say hello).

Made out way to the Bay dropped off the stuff and out the boat in a few feet of water. Saw Neil/Matt & Nos arrive so Matt stuck his new/old boat off mine while Nos & Neil dried out (the boats- not them....that'll be tomorrow... ) .

Left about 6.40 ish with Matt and we cruised up a calm solent to be back on the mooring a hour later.
